Looking to add a date or two in #Decorah, IA for the #NoSpoonsSessions tour in September or October. Outdoors would be ideal
If you're into #FolkMusic and #SingerSongwriter type music, and are interested in hosting me in your yard, drop me a line!

Perhaps a little under-rehearsed and under-produced, but it's an honest take of some great material, recorded throughout six cycles of chemo
I'm all better now, and ready to SING!
Boosts mightily appreciated

I just uploaded the last visible track for the #NoSpoonsSessions on #bandcamp
One more short bonus track going up tomorrow morning, hopefully, and then if all goes well then releasing on Friday!
I've decided to donate all proceeds to the #RainbowRailroad project (www.rainbowrailroad.org)

Two more tracks to record for the #NoSpoonsSessions . It's slow going, bc it takes forever to warm up my voice -- and some days it's not even possible.
But I'm really pleased with how it's all fitting together!
If it ever pays off, I'm going to use the income to hire musicians to bring to life some scores I've been sitting on
New track from #NoSpoonsSessions
My voice is a little rough from chemo-induced atrophy, but it's getting better. My fingers are a little numb from the chemo, too.
But this is where I'm at today.
"Over Time Blues"

I haven't mentioned it yet I think, but all of these recordings tagged #NoSpoonsSessions are part of how I'm passing the time through what I expect to be about a year of #chemotherapy
It's been helpful to take away the pressure of performance, and just ease out a tune like I'm with old friends in comfortable clothes
Maybe something will come of it, maybe it won't, but I'll have sung some songs

Still no voice to sing with ...
Do you remember that moment when you looked down at your hands and realized for the first time, "Hey, I'm doing it! I'm fingerpicking!"
I'll never forget where I was or how it felt. So I present to you, the very first song I ever plucked out a bass and melody on...
"Grandfather's Clock"
